First, let me start out by apologizing for no posts last week. I know my all of three followers are very upset (please excuse my sarcasm!). But seriously last week was a whirlwind of activity and I didn’t have the time to make a single home cooked meal. Needless to say my body hates me this week from all the crap I ate. In between running around and party-hopping on Saturday afternoon I somehow miraculously managed to squeeze in these stuffed banana peppers for a quick lunch. All of the ingredients I had on hand in my practically empty fridge. Given the time constraints and the lack of ingredients, this came out surprisingly well although, I’ll admit, I was expecting to be a little disappointed. Thankfully I proved myself wrong this time!
Greek Stuffed Banana Peppers
- 2 banana peppers, washed with seeds removed (if you like it spicy, keep a few seeds)
- 1/2 cup precooked brown rice
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried oregano
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small dish combine rice, feta, garlic powder and oregano and mix. Divide the mixture between both peppers and stuff. In a small baking dish, add a layer of marinara sauce, then the peppers, then top with remaining marinara. Cover in foil and bake for 10 minutes.
These look killer! Folks are always looking for new ways to use banana peppers. Thanks for sharing and linking up
